Catching Up

It's been quite awhile since we sat down and had a good visit over a cup of tea. Hope you can stay and chat for awhile today. I picked these flowers when we were on our walk this morning. Here's one of my favorite mugs with the heart shape plate. I didn't have time to make cookies, so I've only got Oreos. They're good for dunking though. Just a minute while I get the teapot.Now we just need to let the tea steep for a couple of minutes before I pour it.So what have you been up to?

For me, this is going to be a week filled with sewing. I am going to teach a quilting class at one of our local quilt shops, Overall Quilter, so I have to get the sample quilt done this week. It's all teapots and teacups! Also I have an opportunity to submit a small quilt to be in a book, so I need to be working on that too.

I picked up a little book at Goodwill, titled Wake Up Calls. The title of one chapter is "Attitudes Are Contagious-Is Yours Worth Catching?" I hope mine is!

Tea is ready to pour. Do you take milk? Sugar? Now tell me what you've been up to lately....

The most catch-worthy attitude ever!!! Oh how I fancy tea out of that teapot. It's gorgeous. Tell you what else I enjoy too - the music you have on here. Afternoon tea would be a very special occasion over at your house.love, Angie, xx

What a very cute entry. Your tea service is really nice. I love Oreos, so its ok you didn't have time to bake. No milk in my tea please, just sugar. I bet you will have fun teaching the class. Glad I could come by to have tea with you.Nancy

It's a sewing week for me too Rhondi. In fact I've been busy straightening the sewing room this morning. I got the borders on a fal embroidery that I did last year but I think I'd like some rickrack on it before I back it so that means a trip to Hobby Lobby. Oh no. :) Of course, while there I also need some back ground fabric for another project, and some more fall leaves, and maybe a table something for my foyer... I love Hobby Lobby! blessings, marlene

Good morning, Rhondi! Thank you for the lovely tea! Good luck with all your sewing-such exciting things you have going on! I have a lot of hours this week at my second job, but I am determined to stick to my goal of making a doll each week. Last week, I made Beth March from Little Women- this week I will try to make one of her sisters! Now, as far as your attitude- it was your pretty blue and white that attracted me to you, but it is your lovely attitude that keeps me coming back!Blessings!

Hi Rhondi. You've done it again. Of all the blogs I look at yours is the one that makes me envious. All that wonderful variety of blue china. Last week (3rd Sept) I had a go at copying your idea with 16'blue views' in a grid. I gave a link to your blog as I guessed anyone looking at my blue would covet yours. I'll call again for a cuppa very soon. All the best from England. Eli

Thanks so much for the invitation. I would just love to come to your place for tea as your tea posts are always so welcoming. I know we would get on just fine. I always have some stitching on the go and I would love to bring this along too to show you and would love to see all your beautiful quilting.Chrissie

Hi, First I must say I love the music you have choosen for your blog. I also thank you for the cup of tea. I could use one today.Your site and site like this have inspired me to do something. You have such beautful things surrounding you. I am in the middle of raising kids and sometime forget the larger picture. I am thankful that 2 weeks ago I came across bloging quite by accident. I will be back to visit and to listen and to "steal" some ideas and teach myself to blog and then Rhondi I will invite you over of a cup of coffee Much thanks the rooster

Hi, I'll have my tea white with one lump of sugar. Thanks. Do you know what those flowers are? We always have them growing wild on the sides of the roads in Autumn and I love them and always wanted to find out what they are.

Hi Rhondi, that is some wonderful news about getting a quilt in a book. To know something that you have made and put long hours in will be viewed by so many. All of us quilters love books. After your class, show us what you taught. Thanks for the tea,Bonnie

Hi Rhonda I just discovered your blog.You mentioned teaching Quilting and I wondered if on your blog you had any sites that had to do with hand embroidery. I have just discovered it and I am searching for ideas. Love your decorations, especially the outside ones.

THANK YOU

Welcome

I am so glad that you've come to visit. I was hoping you might stop by today! I just love it when friends drop by. I'll put on the kettle and make us a cup of tea and we can have a good chat about all kinds of good stuff, like our homes, our gardens, our families, or anything else that catches our fancy!
If you can't stay long this time I hope you'll come again. Thanks for visiting.
